03x03 - Running with Wolves

Post by bunniefuu »

Okay. She's headed up now.

Your friend is clearly
out of practice.

I picked him up
eight blocks ago.

- You're in a hurry.
- Op went sideways.

You're not the only one
whose cover's blown.

I need your help.

Told you everything.

Well, then they clearly lied to you.

That is not their style.

I need you to set up a meeting.

Can't do that.

Zoya.

You know better than
anyone, if Sokol is real,

a whole lot of
people are gonna die.

Can you live with
yourself knowing

that you could've stopped it?

I'll get you a meeting,

but not until after
I'm out of Vienna.

Thank you.

Jack.

Good luck.

Let's go, super spy.

She set the meet?

So she says.

Tell me again why you trust her.

Because she has
no reason to lie.

I know she's telling the truth.

Oh, you do?

Good, good.

Just seems like a lot
to bet your life on.

Well, you know what,
Mike? It doesn't look like

I have a whole lot
of options, does it?

Listen to me. Hey.

You're about to cross a line,
and there may be no going back.

Because I'm trying to
do the right thing.

This Sokol Project is real.

And I believe you,

but I also believe you're not
the only one who can stop it.

Who do you suggest
I call? Miller?

He's a prick.

Hang anyone to
save his own skin.

I mean, Wright, she's a
hard-ass, but she's fair.

She's a political animal,
just like the rest of them.

You know what? She
made her choice.

What about Greer?

I can't put him in
any more danger.

And you neither.

So, listen, if you have to
walk away, I understand.

So you have thought it through.

Yes, I have.

Then I'm in. I got your back.

- Just hope we don't die.
- Me, too.

This is an FBI
Extraterritorial Squad.

They're only interested in Ryan.

The NSD's spearheading this.

Who's in charge?

Said his name is Harris.

I'd appreciate you not
turning my office upside down.

We'll put everything back
just the way we found it.

We're here to enforce a warrant

charging Dr. Jack Ryan with
violating the Espionage Act.

Jesus, Jack Ryan
is a lot of things,

- but he's not a traitor.
- That's not my call.

This goes all the way up to

the Director of
National Intelligence.

We have a rogue agent out there.

What's in his head
makes him valuable

to any number of
foreign entities,

so we're bringing him in.

We need to limit their access.

I need you to track
down Zoya Ivanova.

She's the only one who
knows who Jack's source is.

- He's bound to go after her.
- Got it.

What's the
political situation?

NSD's coming for Jack.

- FBI's acting on a warrant.
- On what charge?

- The Espionage Act.
- Jesus Christ.

They're calling him a traitor?

Didn't even read me in.

Looks like you're
not the only one

with a foot on your throat.

Look, I'll do everything I can

to get to Jack first.

Have you got to
President Kovac yet?

Not yet. It's not the CIA's job,

nor mine to get involved
in NATO business.

We can't force her hand, but
we can present the evidence,

hopefully get her on side and
buy us some goodwill back home.

You're in a unique position

as head of Russia
House to offer counsel.

You worked together when
she was running I.S.

- She'll listen to you.
- Yeah. I guess we'll find out.

Captain.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I know you were friends.

He had very few.

As do you.

There are rumors
that you have refused

another admiralship.

What good can I
do behind a desk?

Old man and the sea, huh?

My condolences.

Your husband was a great man.

Thank you for coming.

If you need
anything, Natalya,

please know I'm always
at your service.

Find who did this.

Dmitry will not
rest until you do.

Nor will I.

Is he here?

I wish you had informed me
of this visit in advance.

He's always been
straight with me.

Something that has been
in short supply lately.

He's CIA.

They never reach out without
wanting something back.

I know how the CIA
operates, Radek,

but that's not him.

Madam President.

Mr. Greer.

Radek Breza, my head of
security, meet James Greer.

- Why don't we take a walk, James.
- Mm-hmm.

Oof.

We both know this
isn't a social visit.

We also both know that

we surveil the Russian
government and they surveil us.

The NSA has transcripts of
Dmitry Popov's phone calls.

Those conversations were
with President Surikov,

advising him not to
alienate the Czech Republic

by moving farther
into Eastern Europe.

But Dmitry was a hardliner.

No, he appeared
to be a hardliner.

That was how he was
able to save face

with the more
right-wing in his party.

But you and he were on
the same page all along.

And it may be what
got him k*lled.

Now, the new Defence Minister,

that's another story.

He disavowed everything
Dmitry agreed to.

Yeah, and moved Russian
troops further into Ukraine.

How much farther?

All the way to the
Slovakian border.

Now, I wanted you to know
because if you act now,

we could move our
NATO missiles in.

We could force a retreat.

Our countries share intel.

Why am I just
hearing of this now?

I assumed you wouldn't
treat your allies

the same way as your enemies.

I forgot the CIA
likes to play God.

I'm telling you
this as your friend.

And you expect me to trust you.

Not expecting, hoping.

Now, I know you're being
pressured by all sides.

I also know that you're
not one to be pushed.

I'm just here arming
you with information.

The decision about what
you do with it is yours.

Oh, my God.

Do you know how much
this car cost me?

Well, you knew it was a hunt.

Where did you think it would be?

In Monaco?

I thought the f*cking
road would be paved.

Apologies,

Mr. Zubkov, Mr. Lychkin,
for the remote location,

but there are so few places now
where one can still hunt wolves.

Welcome.

Mm.

Come, come.

Bags.

So the item
we have agreed upon

has been acquired
and is on the move.

Good.

And the cost?

It's 20 million.

This bank token

will give you access
to a secure account

with the money.

Half now, half upon delivery.

But before we complete
the transaction,

there have been errors
we need to address.

First, the matter
of the CIA officer.

Which is being handled.

Second, your daughter.

Your influence with her

seems not to be as strong
as you had indicated.

I mean, it pains me to say it,

but I'm... I'm not the only one

thinking it may be time
for a change of leadership.

Sarhan. Sarhan.

It's fine, Levan.

Sarhan's money has
been instrumental.

He deserves the right
to voice his concerns,

and he's right, there
have been setbacks.

But these obstacles
have been overcome.

You have my word on that.

Everything is on course.

I hope that addresses
your concern.

For now.

Good.

Then let us concentrate
on the reason we are here.

What have you got?

Uh, Vienna airport this morning.

She arrived around 6:00 a.m.

Good. If you
were able to find her,

you can be sure Jack did.

You think he's there?

I'm counting on it.

- I'm helping you bring him in.
- No way.

Look, this guy's worked
my station for ten months.

This is already
blowing back on me.

You got a good read on him?

Better than you.

He's in Vienna.

You want him, we
better move fast.

What's happening
with the Popov investigation?

We traced the money
in the assassin's account.

Went through a number
of private banks.

Still can't definitively
say the source.

But you think the
Russians are behind it.

This has all the earmarks
of one of their ops.

Well, I need to
review the footage from the stadium.

Sure. I'll have one of my
analysts pull it for you.

Excuse me.

There's
been a development.

I'm listening.

So what about our deal?

Uh, I can
get you a GS-13.

Now that's a pretty
nice pay bump.

- They think Jack's in Vienna.
- Vienna?

How the hell did he get
from Athens to Vien...

f*ck me.

You're late.

I was shopping.

Something about
all this feels off.

What?

Popov is President
Surikov's top advisor.

The guy may have been a hawk,

but he was never gonna
condone nuclear w*r.

Check this out.

Nineteen eighty-six,

this dude volunteers to
be a Chernobyl liquidator.

Volunteers to be one of the guys

to deactivate a reactor
after a meltdown? Jesus.

Well, obviously,
it stuck with him.

One of his first orders of
business as Defence Minister,

he pushed the INF Treaty
between the U.S. and Russia.

I mean, this guy has always
been against the nuclear option.

Sucks he's dead.

Or convenient.

What do you mean?

Who stands to benefit
the most out of all this?

The new Defence Minister?

You think he offed
his predecessor?

I'm saying it's a very powerful
time to have Surikov's ear.

- November.
- How's Vienna?

Mind telling me how the
hell you got my private cell?

Yeah. Put him on the phone.

Hang on.

- Hey.
- Good to hear your voice.

Well, thanks for Tony.

You're alive, aren't you?

Are you with Wright?

Ah, she found out
I was helping you,

and she pushed me out.

I'm in Prague, looking
into the assassination.

Now, look, I can only imagine

what's going on in
your head right now.

Maybe you don't
know who to trust,

so I'm just gonna tell you this,
and you can take it or leave it.

The NSD

sent FBI agents to
Vienna to arrest you.

On what charge?

Treason.

Wow.

So Wright's taking
this all the way.

No, not Wright. Miller.

He didn't even read her in.

But she managed to tag along.

Did you tell her about Mike?

I think
both of you are in

way over your head, and
every day you're on the run,

you're digging a hole that you
may not be able to get out of.

Well, that doesn't
answer my question.

Hey, you're the traitor, not me.

Funny.

Listen, what have you
found out about Popov?

Uh, that almost nothing adds up.

No definitive money trail,
no footage of an assassin.

The witness has disappeared.

Let me ask you this.

What if this whole
thing was planned?

I'm just saying, this doesn't
feel like Russia as usual,

and we should look into it.

I will. And, Jack,

the Russian that's chasing you,

I know him.

He's Alpha Group.

Alpha Group. Fun.

I got to go.

It's her.

Eleven o'clock. Track six.

Our last guest

has just arrived.

Sorry to be so late.

A word?

To Dmitry.

He was a good man.

You thought highly of him.

I learned from him.

He shared many of our beliefs.

But not the most important.

- No.
- Hmm.

I hope all is well
with your daughter.

My daughter does
not concern you.

We need those NATO
missiles on Czech ground

or the project will not succeed.

She has always had a strong
will and a strong mind.

Those are things I
would never change.

She's Russian, whether
she knows it or not.

My father was a soldier,

a hardened man.

The only time I saw him
cry was when the Wall fell.

Because he knew it was over.

He never had the illusion

that the Soviet Union
was without fault,

but Mother Russia was
everything to him.

When it collapsed,
everything he fought for

no longer had meaning.

When I asked him why
he was crying, he said,

"We were once the most
feared nation on Earth.

We were the monster

that kept the rest of
the world up at night."

Now we wage cyber wars.

We disrupt and we inconvenience.

Oh, it's clever
and cost-effective,

but w*r without
cost is meaningless.

Without cost, we
have no identity.

We've become him.

Why are you telling me all this?

To remind you how
important this is.

We only have one chance

to restore ourselves
to who we once were.

We cannot allow arrogance
to get in the way.

My friends, please,
take a glass.

When I was a child,

we didn't have
ice cream or soda.

- We had kvass.
- Mm.

I invited you to show my thanks.

Our cause has many supporters
but few benefactors.

I'm grateful for
your generosity.

As they say, a great
ship needs deep waters.

You are those deep waters,

- my friend.
- Mm.

Let's go.

Okay, right there.

Level "B."

And the next one.

Level "J." Twenty-eight.

- And you don't have any footage of the sh**ting?
- Nope.

They knew exactly
where the cameras were.

All right, get up.

- Let me take it for a drive.
- All right.

You all right?

I just hate train stations.

Watch any movie, nothing good
ever happens in a train station.

Okay, guys,
I'm in the system.

I've got eyes on you.

Hmm.

Can I ask you a favor?

Can you get us into the stadium?

Yes, tonight.

It'll make sense
once we get there.

All right,

where shall we send you?

How about Semmering?

We got him.

- Where was this taken?
- Vienna train station, platform nine.

We'll have all the details
by the time we land.

He can't talk if you
keep hitting him.

Do you know who I am?

Don't try to lie.

The drug will be taking effect.

Luka Gocharov!

What did our scientist tell you?

Nothing!

Who is your source?!

I don't know.

There was only water
in the syringe.

We have much to
discuss and little time

if we are to stop Sokol.

- Agent Pavlok. Welcome to Austria.
- Thanks. Let's go.

I don't like this.

You made that clear.

Wait for me here.

Sorry to bring you here,

but you may be able to
help me with something.

- Let's get it over with.
- Security was too tight

for Tibor Kasal to enter
here with a w*apon.

So someone planted it inside.

Or the sh**t
was already armed.

You're saying it wasn't Kasal?

No motive.

No means to pull
something like this off.

Not to mention that he was
Tasered before he was k*lled.

He was just a pawn.

- In whose game?
- I'm not sure yet.

But the deal that you
were making with Popov

may not have had the
unanimous support

that you were hoping for.

This was an inside job.

James, what am I
really doing here?

There were no cameras
on the second level

and no footage of the area
where Kasal was found.

But you may have seen something
that you don't remember.

I was hoping bringing you here
might help you visualize it.

All right.

If I'm going to relive it,
may as well go all the way.

What happened before the sh*t?

We were headed this direction.

I mean, just talking.

Even security was surprised
at how well we were...

Huh.

What?

Huh.

Radek wasn't with me
when Popov was hit.

It was chaos. I mean,
players scattered,

both sides scrambling to
get us to safety, but...

Radek must have left
before the sh*t.

He knew exactly
where he was going.

You can't possibly think
he's involved in this.

- There's no way.
- Well, I've seen all the CCTV footage,

and he wasn't here
when Popov went down.

He was upstairs, perfectly
positioned to k*ll Kasal.

We've-we've been
friends for years.

Radek's a patriot.

- He couldn't be a part of this.
- Yeah, well, I know it's hard,

but we have to
examine every angle,

consider every possibility.

Especially the one that's
staring us right in our face.

Come.

We've been out here too long.

Luck may not be with us.

A wolf pack can travel a hundred
miles in a night to find prey.

As the proverb goes, a
wolf is fed by its legs.

I feel lucky.

A wolf is one of the few
trophies I have left to collect.

It's a waste of such an animal
to mount its head on a wall.

It sounds close.

Do you see it?

There.

I don't understand.

Why are you trying
to help the CIA?

Let's just say we are on
the same side for once.

And why me?

I knew you were
working with Zoya,

and she trusted you.

She was your asset.

So you lied about
the nuke on the ship

to get the CIA to react.

You may not have acted at all,

and his information
was just as important.

Sokol.

What do you know about it?

It was a terrible accident.

I know nothing more than that.

Before he d*ed, Yuri said that
Konstantin was a traitor. Why?

Yuri knew it was not us.

It was not Russia, but...

Russian.

A rogue faction.

One I am determined to unmask.

What do they want?

To restore the Soviet Union.

So there is a device.

Yuri was working on it.

Not a device yet.

What do you mean?

Uranium?

Well, if they don't have it yet,

there's only a handful of arms
dealers that would have enough.

And the man at the top
of the list is called

- Levan Zubkov.
- Who's that?

Ask your friend.

Zubkov's one of my clients.

And I'm assuming that's why
we're on our way to Budapest?

And the only reason
you're still alive.

- I appreciate that.
- Wait a minute.

You think Zubkov is
working with this faction?

Yes.

Well, how close are they?

They traveled to
Kazakhstan two days ago.

Third trip this month.

- Jesus.
- And I have no one I can trust.

No one. Not even
in my government.

And you want the
CIA to trust me.

And won't they?

Jack?

Let me guess. Semmering?

I'm along for the ride.
You enjoying yours?

Scenic.

I imagine so.

You may already be aware,

but there's a Russian
assassin on your tail.

- Oh, he found me.
- You k*lled him.

I didn't.

Then who?

Luka Gocharov.

Please tell me Gocharov
is not your asset.

You know who he
is, what he's done.

Helped us.

It's not the Russians.

The new Defence Minister
is part of a cabal

that's operating independently
of their own government.

Even if that's
true, there's no way

Miller signs off on any action
based on intel from Gocharov.

Well, then it's a good thing

- I don't work for Miller.
- Jack...

The United States and Russia
are being baited into a w*r,

and right now, we're the only
ones standing in the way.

I can't just...

I'm gonna need you to trust me.

Where you going?

He's on a red train.

There was
one camera angle

on the premier parking terrace
that captured incoming vehicles.

We identified Kasal's car.

Here.

You see that?

Kasal didn't arrive alone.

There was someone
in the car with him.

- Who is it?
- No idea.

But this thing was
expertly planned

by more than one person.

Got your message.

I came as quickly as I could.

James Greer, I presume.

Mr. Kovac.

What exactly did your
daughter tell you?

Only that you've cast aspersions
on her security chief.

He may not have a title,

but my father's my
most trusted advisor.

Do you really
think Radek played a role

in Dmitry Popov's death?

That he's part of some
larger conspiracy?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Then your options are severely
limited, Madam President.

It's already done.

I've given NATO the green light

to move in their
m*ssile installations.

I don't know what game
Russia is playing,

but I will not let this
country be their playground.

Remember that line I
was telling you about?

You just crossed it.
